as i already bought the white one to my wife, i really think about buying that FE toy lens for my own pentax Q !
like someone said before, that's a real show of love to early customers!
most of pentaxists are almost emotional considering pentax products, and i didn't used to feel that way, i'm not really a huge marketting/consummering fan, and i tend to think about products i buy just like tools i use,
but that move from pentax ricoh makes me think different...
actually, in a world where u got to buy every new model for the smallest little add on your product, i really enjoy that the Q , and maybe pentax ricoh, doesn't belongs to that all marketting bu****tt world we see these days (did i mentioned apple? )
they build strong products that are made in purpose to be able to last like forever, and still give a great support over it.
i were already a huge fan of the keep and use capability of K mount over technology and ages, but that move is like a "we wont let you down" message from pentax/ricoh, and as a customer and a tool user, i really really apreciate that!
actually, thinking further about it, isn't ricoh already on that path with gxr system?
planned obsolescence doesn't seems to belong to marketting path for pentax, and that's something i appréciate.
i still buying pentax products because they suit my needs,
if they suits my points of views, then i'm glad
